In my wildest dreams Boundary would be a 3+3 lane trenched freeway, but yeah, this is Vancouver.

With a connection to 91 at Boundary it should be tunneled and free flow to the number 1. 3 lanes would do if it would be direct with no exit points in between as you would not need significant grade and climbing lanes for all the trucks that would use it. Boundary road can function as a feeder route.
It is only 5.5 km's. Not a significant tunnel. Or 7.1 km's if you want to avoid a bridge over the North Fraser arm with a underground interchange at Marine.
This should be a regional priority and it would tie the region together by linking up the 91 to the number 1. In conjunction with this the Iron workers should finally have its 2 extra lanes added and the highway should be 3 lanned all the way to Capilano. Any other western city would have this planned, it makes so much sense looking at a map of the region and its highway network. It would create ring road of Vancouver and move lots of cross city traffic to a more efficient route.
